Description

A welcoming host family in the heart of Lyon

This friendly host family lives in the very centre of Lyon, in the Presqu’île area, close to Place Bellecour. The family is made up of Catherine and Thibault and their daughter Mathilde, who lives at home. They also have an older daughter who has now left home, as well as Rubis, their British Shorthair cat.

The family enjoys a wide range of activities. Catherine and Thibault appreciate cultural outings, while Catherine is also interested in antique furniture and enjoys shopping in the city. Thibault loves skiing, hiking and jogging. Mathilde is passionate about horse riding and Formula 1.

The student will have a fully furnished private bedroom overlooking the courtyard, equipped with a single bed, desk, storage space and a mezzanine area. The bathroom, with both a bathtub and a shower, is shared with Mathilde. Wi-Fi and TV are available in the home.

One of the great advantages of this host family is its excellent central location. Ampère metro station (Line A) is only a 3-minute walk away, Bellecour (Lines A and D) is approximately 5 minutes on foot, and Perrache train station can be reached in around 10 minutes. This makes it particularly convenient for international students studying in different parts of Lyon.

A great choice for a student looking for a warm family environment while enjoying the convenience and atmosphere of living right in the heart of Lyon.

For confidentiality reasons, we cannot publish photos of the family or the front of the house. If you are interested in the family, we can send you photos once we have established contact.


About 2nd district

The 2nd district of Lyon is situated at the southern extremity of the Presquile formed by the Saône and the Rhône. The Presquile is situated between the Rhône and the Saône and is the central part of Lyon. The Presquile links one part of the first and second districts and is in high demand by students as it is easy to get back and forth at any hour by subway, bike or on foot. It’s the heart of Lyon, one of the best shopping areas with numerous stores, pedestrian streets (Victor Hugo avenue and Rue de la République). It also has the largest square in Europe known as the Place Bellecour which has in its centre, the famous statue of Louis XIV. One part of this district to the south has seen a new project emerge called “Confluence” which means meeting of the two, which refers to both rivers. It is an urban renewal project for the centre of Lyon with new accommodation, office buildings and shopping centres which include modern and colourful architecture. You can reach this area by taking a ferryboat. Check our other rooms in 2nd district
